Well thanks! I was a little sad when it was all over, although I still hope to sell the rest of the deathbags someday. Other books to keep an eye on, Who Is Jake Ellis? #1 and Infinite Vacation #1 both of which you might at least triple your money now but both have great buzz and who knows down the road?

Both Iron Man #500 and the Legion of Super-heroes Annual sold as well in the comic book realm, they were both decent reads but impulsive buys and I was happy to break even or just a little better on them.

I bought an extra copy of the death-bag, but I've been hanging onto it for a rainy day.

I think the deathbags will pay off down the road, but it's a shame if you weren't following FF in singles up to now. I actually sold some of my total Hickman run a while ago, sure would have been interesting to see what his full run on FF would do plus deathbag.

If anyone's got them.

BTW Christian et al---the signed Hickman black logo variant goes for approx $300 last I checked, and there are two types of deathbags. One is easily transparent when held up to a strong light, the other is less transparent but still I believe the black logo could be discerned from the blue logo if you have a keen eye and judge of color values through it when held up to the same strong light. (because I bought deathbags from several shops I have or had both types of plastic bags--and no winners, I fear.) Most comics shops are too dimly lit or diffusely lit to tell in the LCS unless they will let you test them.
